What is the Company Structure page for?

The group register: every legal company, who owns it, who sits on its board, its statutory numbers and the chart that ties them together. The chart is drawn from the shareholdings on record — never from a typed parent — so a transfer redraws it and the history is kept. Company Structure is the owner of each company's legal identity; the company row the rest of Saral reads is a mirror of it. For whoever keeps the group's books and filings straight: Admin and Accounts edit, and Companies House is checked against the register every week. You enter: Each company: name, number, VAT and UTR, registered and trading address, SIC, incorporation date, share capital, PAYE and Accounts Office references, bank details, the Xero organisation it is linked to — on Add company and the row's edit; People once, for the whole group — directors, PSCs, beneficial owners — and each appointment (which board, from when, to when) on the Directors tab; shareholdings (holder, class, percentage, consideration, effective dates) on the Shareholders tab; A move on the chart: drag a company onto its new owner, confirm the date, the percentage and the consideration; the old holding is closed on that date and a new one opened; A decision on every Companies House difference: Apply (or Merge / Use CH name) to take the register's value, or Dismiss. Saral fills: The chart itself — levels, order and the edges — from the current shareholdings whose holder is a group company; the Org chart from the officer appointments; The Companies House verdict on every company number and the HMRC verdict on every VAT number (the check-digit test runs on screen; Check registers confirms with the registers), and the differences the weekly Companies House sync found, queued for a person to accept or dismiss; The mirror: a saved name, number, VAT, UTR or registered address is written through to the company row every other module reads — only non-blank values, never the other way round; History: every add, edit, transfer and accepted Companies House change, with who did it and when; the chart as it stood on any date (Structure as at). It produces: The structure chart as a PDF (simple, with directors, with shareholders, or both; one- or two-tone; A4 / A3) and the same chart by email to people on Saral; The consolidation levels the financial reports offer, and the register the Audit, Tax, Lettings and CIS screens read company facts from; Per company: a workspace with its overview, ownership, officers, registrations and renewals; and, for a group with more than one Xero-linked company, the CIS verification of each sibling a company pays. Where the settings live: Entity kind, jurisdiction and functional currency are edited on Settings → Organisation → Companies & entities, never here. The Xero organisations a company can be linked to come from Settings → Data & integrations → Xero sync & coverage. Who may edit the register is the Admin and Accounts roles, set on Settings → People & access → Access; the board's read-only chart on the CEO report has its own key. The minute book — resolutions, share transfers, dividends — lives on Accounts → Company Secretarial.
